Medtronic plc

Welcome to Junco's facility in Puerto Rico. This is the facility that we are manufacturing Altaviva, the new Pelvic Health product. Altaviva is a tiny product that is going to be implanted in the ankle and is for patients with urinary incontinency. Technology is a driving force in our production floor. Every time that we manufacture the product, we are thinking on the patient. We are going to approach to the gowning room where the magics begin. We need to make the product in a controlled environment to make sure that the product that we are sending out for the patients are meeting the specification in order to provide the right therapy for the patients. So this is the first step of Altaviva. So in here, we receive the main parts of Altaviva, which is the feed-through. That feed-through is the connection between the electrode and the internal components that actually lead or drive the therapy to the patients.

We're going to be welding together those feed-through wires to the circuitry of the device. When it comes back around, it's going to be nice and engraved with the Medtronic logo, the serial number, and the brand name for the part. Now we're going to the final part of the manufacturing assembly. These testers are going to be handling the final functional testing of the parts.

My father got an ICD from here. You never know when a family or a relative is going to end up with a product from here. So not only the operators, but the engineers, technicians, everyone. We are thinking patients all the time.
